I'm glad you figured out the issue.
Q1: Beagle just doesn't index your .thunderbird directory
A1: Check for a .mozilla-thunderbird directory. Beagle will index this
directory and ignore .thunderbird if it exists. Solution is to remove
the .mozilla-thunderbird directory (assuming your data is in .thunderbird).
Q2: Beagle search tries to create new email account when email item
clicked on.
A2: If you have both mozilla-thunderbird application over thunderbird
application on your system, Beagle will use mozilla-thunderbird. This
will ask to create a new account and will create a .mozilla-thunderbird
directory (which will break the searching as the above question).
Solution is to remove the mozilla-thunderbird application.
Thanks for the great work with Beagle.
These would probably be good to add to the Wiki, in the troubleshooting
section.
What distributions are still shipping a program called
mozilla-thunderbird and creating a ~/.mozilla-thunderbird directory? Do
we need to continue to support those setups?
Thanks,
Joe
